so i get this question quite frequently how much weight can a person actually lose when they’re fasting now i just want to mention the difference between doing the ketogenic diet okay and you have fasting over here and if you combine them it’s a whole different thing but if you’re just doing the ketogenic diet alone where you’re lowering your carbs the most that you can lose per week is about two pounds of fat per week if you’re healthy but what if you’re fasting every day how much can you lose you potentially could lose a lot more you can lose a half a pound a day and that would be 0. 227 kilograms for those Europeans or that comes out to three and a half pounds loss per week or 1. 58 kilograms per week now just realize that this is the best case scenario you’re not going to lose more than this you have to have a really healthy metabolism to be able to lose that much now if you’re just starting out you’re probably going to lose anywhere between 7 to 15 pounds for the first week and that’s pretty much going to happen on just about any diet that you do that lowers the carbs why because you’re going to lose a ton of water weight where is the water weight coming from it’s coming from the stored glucose as glycogen so there’s 3 to 3. 8 grams of water in every gram of glucose if it’s stored as glycogen so glycogen which is stored glucose and your liver and your muscles is like a fluid-filled sponge and when you’re doing fasting you’re going to use up the glycogen in your liver not your muscles but in the liver and some other places to the point where you’re not going to have very much glycogen in your liver and you’re going to dump a lot of water i think most people knew that but if you didn’t that’s what it is now there are all sorts of variables that go along with this depending on your age if you’re 18 years old you’re going to lose a heck of a lot more than a 65 year old so you have your activity level your exercise level if you’re male or female females have more estrogen it makes it more difficult to lose weight you have how strong your metabolism is how healthy you are and then you have what you eat when you break the fast i think that’s really important and also your stress level so these are the variables that will determine if you’re going to lose this much or that much depending on if you’re fasting or just doing the ketogenic diet or a combination of both before you go if you have a question about a product or you’re new to keto and you want to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth i have a keto consultant standing by to help you this is just for the people in the us hopefully in the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call but i put the number down below so you can call and get some help
